Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale is angry and fed up at the Spanish giants and wants to leave the club.

Gareth Bale is fed up,He can do this no longer. At a time when he began to stand out, knowing that as he plays matches his fitness would be sharpened, he suddenly had to watch the game against Bruges in the stands. Nobody knows why.

He is angry, confused. When Zidane returned to the club, he decided he did not want Bale, without anyone having offered a clear reasoning. Bale was told that Zidane, with whom he has a professional relationship, had made an unequivocal decision and was preparing for his departure.

His agent, Jonathan Barnett, set out to find his alternative options, but Bale preferred – ahead of any other possibility – to remain at the club.

Bale had been set to join the Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Suning on a three-year contract in the summer – earning a reported £1m a week – but Real canceled the deal because they wanted a transfer fee.

According to a report, Welshman does not quite understand is why the doors were opened, and then they did not let him go. Madrid agreed not to charge a transfer fee to the Chinese side Jiangsu Suning, but ultimately they backed down because they believed that another Chinese team was willing to pay a large amount for James Rodriguez, a rumor that ended up being false.

Bale has played well in recent weeks – partly because he is angry – in response to the distance and coldness with which the coach treats him, and he has finally rebelled at his situation.

In July, Real manager Zinedine Zidane said we hope he leaves soon a comment to which Bale’s agent Jonathan Barnett replied: “Zidane is a disgrace – he shows no respect for a player that has done so much for Real Madrid.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino says he is not worried about the sack despite his side’s poor form.

Spurs lost 3-0 at Brighton on Saturday to compound a miserable week that also saw them thrashed 7-2 by Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

The club was also knocked out of the Carabao Cup on penalties by League Two Colchester last month.

When asked if he feared for his job, Pochettino said: “No I am not worried, what worries me is life, not football.”

Speaking at a news conference after Saturday’s game at Amex Stadium, Pochettino said: “Football is a game that sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. The problem for us – it was win, win, win and it was praise for everyone.

“Now in the last two games, it was a tough situation to accept. But I don’t want to be a philosopher or talk in a way that is not good.”

Former Black Stars Coach Avram Grant says he will welcome an opportunity to manage the senior national team again.

“I really miss Ghana and I want to re-unite with Ghana again if I am given the opportunity. I have so many memories about Ghana and I must say that Kwesi Nyantakyi did extremely well as the President of the Ghana Football Association but it’s quite unfortunate,” he said in an interview.

He added that “there is too much politics in the game which I don’t want to talk about or involve himself. I love Ghana and ready to come back again”.

On February 28, 2017, The Ghana Football Association released a statement saying the FA and Mr. Grant have gone into a mutual agreement to end the contract upon its expiry.

The former Chelsea manager took over from current coach Kwesi Appiah in November 2014 following Ghana’s disappointing World Cup which included poor performances on and off the pitch.

Following Avram’s decision to part ways with Ghana, he is quoted by the BBC as saying “the time is right” for him to seek a new challenge and that he had enjoyed his time in charge as the Ghana Coach.
